THIS MONTH: Past Lives joins The Fall of Freedom for our monthly Open Mic, November 21.
#FallOfFreedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Our Democracy is under attack. Threats to free expression are rising. Dissent is being criminalized. Institutions and media have been recast as mouthpieces of propaganda.
The Fall of Freedom begins on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22 — just the start of a larger movement. Across the country, actions, activations, and events will unfold, sparked by arts communities and the public. These are self-initiated efforts, and it’s up to us and our communities to shape what they look like, making this only the beginning of what’s to come.
Art matters. Artists are a threat to American fascism. @falloffreedom
